Somehow the 08 wheels look smaller than the previous ones. The 04 wheels were easily the best looking of the bunch though 
I'm thinking the 08 wheels painted black like my 02's would look rather good

I have a 2008.. it's the german model, but i don't think it differs much from the UK (other than having the steering wheel in the place it should be)
Other than the obvious new wheels and some chasis optimizations (I did not manage to know exactly what they are) the rest "seems" to be like before.. well in germany we got new colours.. like a "all red" interior (before we only had red/black) and a pearl-white paint.
A pic of mine (hope it works.. photobucket behaves a bit funny lately):

I too, prefer the '08 wheels to those Datsun hubcap wheels; although the spokes taper counter-intuitively, they are a clean, open design like the originals.

Me no likey those 08 wheels.
They look like some cheapo Wolfrace offering for an MX5 that you could get from Hellfrauds. Have to agree with Mike about the 04 wheels looking best, IMO. Each to their own though

I think you may find that it was a complete redesign, new chassis and engine etc.

The 16" ones are cool as well..
Anyway i just ordered a set of Prodrive's GC-05F (5 spokes of course) in Gunmetal. I will use them for summer (with the stock bridgestones).
In my stock MY08 rims i will install my winter set (probably I will go for a set of Dunlop Wintersport M3 in the stock size).
Initally I was planning to get stock 16" rims for my winterset.. but I was not able to say "no" to the Prodrives....
they are just wonderful.
